Tardy students wait as Mr. Begor ponders their attendance problem . Principal plans program School opened with a welcome back assembly for the student body. The purpose of this assembly was to help get things “Back on the Road Again.” During the school year, students appeared in the halls at the wrong place and time. Our principal, Mr. Ross M. Hines and assistant principals, Miss Margaret Lane, Mr. Wayne Begor, and Mr. Tim Walter assisted these students with such problems as finding their way back to class. Curricular problems were handed to Miss Lane. Mr. Walter served as the disciplinarian, while Mr. Begor han- dled all attendance matters. Even with thecurrent busing problem, Mr. Hines made the school year work. This matter requires the attention of Mr. Walter and Mr. Hines. Quietly working at his desk, Mr. Hines catches upon paper work.

Parents of students received a letter informing them of the program, which Menchville High School hosted. Seniors were re-ranked for the last time as a class at the end of first se- mester. However, seniors who had a B average and whose second semester grades affected their rank, were re- ranked near the end of the year. Juniors received their ranks, for the first time, in January. Taking a new look, the library, head- ed by Mrs. Lynn Teinken and Mrs. Vir- ginia Millner, opened its doors for the first time to students since last year’s fire. The traditional overdue book fee vanished from the library except on overnight books. A new rule in the li- brary required students to have an I.D. card in order to check out any book. The number of checked out books appeared smaller than in the past. This possibly came from the lack of students’ use of their school library. Important decisions await Linda Mayhew as she keeps her guidance appointment.
